One of the newest highlights is Universal Epic Universe, where guests can soar alongside dragons in The Untrainable Dragon in How to Train Your Dragon: Isle of Berk or step inside the magical spectacle of Le Cirque Arcanus in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Ministry of Magic. Throughout Celestial Park, live musicians, roaming performers, and the dazzling Cosmos Fountain create an ever-changing atmosphere, all leading up to the breathtaking Universal Celestial Goodnight nighttime spectacular featuring fountains, music, lighting, and fireworks.
At Universal Studios Florida, entertainment ranges from the action-packed The Bourne Stuntacular to the always-popular Animal Actors on Location! and the colorful DreamWorks Imagination Celebration. Fans of live street entertainment can catch Marilyn and the Diamond Bellas, the Blues Brothers, Beat Builders, ¡Vamos! Báilalo, and performances throughout The Wizarding World of Harry Potter including Celestina Warbeck and the Banshees and Tales of Beedle the Bard. Don’t forget to end your evening with CineSational: A Symphonic Spectacular, one of the resort’s most impressive nighttime shows featuring fountains, drones, projections, fireworks, and unforgettable movie music.
Across the lagoon at Universal Islands of Adventure, guests can enjoy whimsical storytelling in Seuss Landing, watch the Frog Choir and Triwizard Spirit Rally in Hogsmeade, and experience Hogwarts Castle projection shows that change with the seasons, including Hogwarts Always, Dark Arts at Hogwarts Castle, and The Magic of Christmas at Hogwarts Castle.
The fun doesn’t stop when the parks close. Universal CityWalk offers live entertainment nearly every night, whether you’re taking the stage at Universal’s Rising Star karaoke club, singing along with the famous dueling pianos at Pat O’Brien’s, enjoying reggae music at Bob Marley: A Tribute to Freedom, or checking out the ever-changing seasonal themes inside the Red Coconut Club.
